CE Credit
Course numbers that include "CE" provide mandated continuing education credit for agency requirements as specified. These courses may be taken for professional development or personal enrichment. One hour of CE credit is granted for one contact hour of instruction. CE Units (CEUs)
Continuing education units (CEU) are nationally recognized units for measuring participation in professional development programs which do not award academic credit. Continuing & Extended Education's CEU-bearing courses are developed under the guidelines established by the International Association Continuing Education and Training (IACET). These courses may be appropriate when employers, re-licensure agencies and other authorities require a specific number of hours of study and where noncredit study is acceptable. CEUs may neither be applied to, nor substituted for, graduation or degree requirements. One CEU is earned for 10 hours of instruction. XPE Courses
Courses that begin with "XPE" do not currently provide any type of agency mandated continuing education credit or CEUs. None of our courses currently transfer toward an academic degree or degree-based certificate program. Published Course Schedules and Substitutions
Although we make every effort to maintain published course schedules, Continuing & Extended Education reserves the right to make changes in fees, faculty assignments, course dates and room locations. We will attempt to notify participants as soon as possible should any course-related changes occur. Please check our course calendar for the most current course schedule information. Return to top. Course Cancellations
CE reserves the right to cancel any course in the event of insufficient enrollment, instructor illness, national emergency, or natural disaster. Participants will be notified as soon as possible and will be allowed to receive a full refund or transfer to another course without penalty of any additional processing fees. The liability of JFK University Continuing & Extended Education is limited to registration fees only. JFK University will not be responsible for any losses incurred by students including, but not limited to, airline cancellation charges or hotel deposits. Fees
All courses offered through Continuing & Extended Education are entirely self-supporting. Fees for courses vary and are adjusted to accommodate additional course expenses. Fees are listed on each course page. Visit the Registration Policies page for information on our discount program! Attendance
Students must complete 100% of a course to receive continuing education credit. Partial credit is not permitted and late arrivals of greater than 15 minutes are not allowed. Students will sign in on attendance sheets, fill out course evaluations, and take certificates of completion with them at the end of class. Certificates of Attendance
CE Certificates will be presented at the completion of each onsite course to students who have pre-registered at least two (2) business days prior to the start of the course. If you register within 48 hours of a scheduled course, we cannot guarantee that your CE Certificate will be available to you onsite. In these cases, your Certificate will be sent to you within 7-10 business days. For online course students, CE Certificates may be downloaded after you successfully complete each online course.
